The company was granted a physical supply licence on 27th June, 2019 and preparations are underway to start deliveries in Istanbul and surrounding ports soon, the company said.
Unerco’s management team is led by CEO Ufuk Erinc, together with fellow shareholders, Erdem Coker (Head of Commercial) and Utku Unlu (Head of Supply), former employees of Arkas Bunker.
“We are pleased to announce formation of Unerco Petroleum, a new physical supplier in Turkish ports and a global trader co-owned by Ufuk Erinc, Erdem Coker and Utku Unlu with the backing of a consortium of international financial investors. Each of the management team has more than 20 years of experience in shipping, physical bunkering, trading and supply as well as a full sea career before that.
“As a team, we have achieved the status of being the top supplier in Turkey for almost a decade. However, our motivation, ambitions and mindset is looking beyond national borders. We are proud of our achievements, but resting on the past is not our style; we want to create a global leader in bunkering out of Turkey and for that we had to establish the right platform,” Erinc explained.
